论文摘要
随着在全球社会中的可持续性成为越来越重的优先事项,对学术和研究机构对相关研究出版物的贡献进行了评估。这项研究比较了与联合国可持续发展目标相关的研究出版物的四种方法13:气候行动。 Elsevier,Strings,Siris和Dimensions的四种方法在主题专家的帮助下都开发了搜索字符串,然后通过不同的方法来增强这些搜索,以生成最终的出版物。我们的分析表明,这些方法产生了可比数量的出版物,但它们之间几乎没有重叠。我们可以看到方法与所使用的搜索策略之间的主题重点差异。检索到的出版物之间的差异可能来自对目标,关键字选择,操作搜索策略,AI增强功能以及参考书目数据库选择的主观解释。每个元素都需要更深入的调查,以了解其在识别与可持续发展目标相关的研究中的作用。在选择评估对可持续发展目标的研究贡献的任何方法之前,可持续发展目标数据的最终用户应仔细考虑其对目标的解释,并确定哪种可用方法产生最接近的数据集。同时,数据提供商可能会自定义其方法来改变可持续发展目标的解释。
As sustainability becomes an increasing priority throughout global society, academic and research institutions are assessed on their contribution to relevant research publications. This study compares four methods of identifying research publications related to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 13: climate action. The four methods, Elsevier, STRINGS, SIRIS, and Dimensions have each developed search strings with the help of subject matter experts which are then enhanced through distinct methods to produce a final set of publications. Our analysis showed that the methods produced comparable quantities of publications but with little overlap between them. We visualised some difference in topic focus between the methods and drew links with the search strategies used. Differences between publications retrieved are likely to come from subjective interpretation of the goals, keyword selection, operationalising search strategies, AI enhancements, and selection of bibliographic database. Each of the elements warrants deeper investigation to understand their role in identifying SDG-related research. Before choosing any method to assess the research contribution to SDGs, end users of SDG data should carefully consider their interpretation of the goal and determine which of the available methods produces the closest dataset. Meanwhile data providers might customise their methods for varying interpretations of the SDGs.
